After staying up, ticking and slipping down after coming off a winning July’s 1st week

“Uncle algo and his electronic trading dwarfs” are coming to visit

Never leave an investor uninformed …

I say what others won’t, so you can do what others can’t!

Remember that overnight and pre-open actions’ futures and markets doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in today’s market session.

“I also hate to be so negative or contrarian but, this is a NO spin zone and truth is its product; I can always be WRONG but, I am mostly EARLY!”

My interpretation of the morning’s numbers is written to be informative; it’s built on what happened to make “it” happen today!

Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide ideas and context

I post about “indication intelligence” looking toward investment conferences … to assist investors with insight into sector vulnerabilities and strengths.  A dictionary definition of “indicate” refers to something less than a certainty; an indication could be a signal of being oversold or overbought, a recommendation, or grounds for inferring or a basis for believing.

  • Yet again, I am passing on forecasting the daily indications due to the effects of vacation and newest highs … it is still a mix of ups, downs and just uncertainty

Although:

  • Lenz Therapeutics (LENZ) closed up =$1.57 with a negative -0.54 or -1.66% pre-open
  • More neutrals in the sector pre-open

 

The BOTTOM LINE: July is here and summer doldrums and vacations and selling before the earnings cycle to pay for the hot dogs.

  • More pressure to come into the economy [and that will lead to] income and share price erosion and a consumer spending slowdown. That is really the picture that we should expect in the 2H/25

 

To characterize July, to understand the “flow” of markets, the cell and gene therapy sector and economic karma…

  • 7/4 – Friday was a market holiday
  • 7/3 – Thursday closed positive with 23 positive, 6 negative and 6 flats
  • 7/2 - Wednesday closed positive with 24 positive, 7 negative and 4 flats
  • 7/1 – Tuesday closed positive with 21 positive, 11 negative and 3 flats
  • 6/30 - Monday closed positive with 20 positive, 11 negative and 4 flats

 

Not good news:

  • In Q2/25, at least 18 Boston-area life sciences companies announced layoffs impacting at least 1,300 Massachusetts workers.

Reiterating, “There are always some big ifs, especially given some of the headlines that could emanate after a past few months of news flatulence.

  • Some believe in a “June Swoon;” however, June will be no better or worse than any other month. Although, I consider the so-called summer rally after the peripatetic or wandering.”

As always, brace ourself for more volatility, economics and their down trending affect?

Welcome to my world of defining the “grey’ in our universe!

  • The sector is what it is, until it isn’t and even then, it doesn’t seem to be… as NOT much changes as the sector’s share pricing rides the waves of volatility, algorithms, electronic trading and short covering.
  • I am more frequently right than consequentially wrong; if I wanted to be liked, I wouldn’t have been an analyst/journalist.
